w. B. DELBRIDGE, ARTIST.
Bolivar, Tenn.
The Bulletin Is 81 a year in adj
vance. We hope our friends will
come up and pay. We are bound
to have money to pay the expenses
of the paper. Don't wait until the
year ends, but come right along and
enable US to give you good paper
through the year.
From what little we have seen OF
lawyers and carpenters, we believe
their training and habits are pretty
much alike. A lawyer can file a
bill, split hair, chop logic. dOyetail
an argument, make an entry, get up
a case, frame an indictment, empan
ell a jury, put them in a box, nail q
witness, hammer a judge, chisel
client, and many other like things.
The Editor regrets that he could
not attend the closing exercises OF
the Southwestern Baptist University
at jackson, Tenn. last week. We
are always delighted to be present
at such literary feasts as this must
have been. The University has an
experienced and learned faculty,
and we know no school that offers
higher and purer educational ad"
vantages.
The Bulletin failed to give notice
Of the death of Mrs. JnO. M. Mitch
eli IN last weeks issue. We regret
this oversight. Mrs. Mitchell was
beloved by all who knew her. She
was q true and constant friend. Her
heart overlooked with the purezt
kindness. d one feel the pain of her
loss more keenlY than the Bulletin
force. We tender our sympathy to-
to the ber5 aved family and friends
Our friend, Monroe Carter, lost
his only child last week.
The Editors family moved tc
Bolivar this week. They are plea
sanity ensconced at the hospitable
home of Mrs. Hugh Harkins.
The asylum is getting-up- and
getting. The daily working force
| is about 175. The brick-mouldel g
turn out $4,000 brick per day, and
the brick-layers lay $4,000. The
ioists for the entire building have
been purchased and delivered. They
were purchased wholly from HAr-
deman county mills, The work is
progressing rapidly. Excellent dis
cipline is maintained among the
hands. Their whisky bill amounts
to about 81 per week. There is nc
complaint among the men, except
that they are not paid enough.
Pleasure and improvement should
always go hand-in-hand, if we wisf
to got all we can that is noble GU
of this life. The Bulletin Away
; furnishes pIeasurable and INSTRUCTIVE
; reading; therefore, you should reat
the Bulletin If you wish to be happ,
and wise.
A mild form of cholera prevail
in this county. Our people shOul'
be very careful as to diet, cleanli
ness of person, and cleanliness o
1 premises. While the disease is
!, mild type, yet it nigh. become NOR
malignant.
The court yard at Bolivar is
most lovely resort. Among tn
boughs which arch its grassy green
g the fsathered Ministries pour fort
their sweetest songs; and as thel
warbling melodies float out on tn
= mellow breezes, they are caught u
2 and re-echOed by the harp strun
throats of our circuit clerk an
q county chairman.
I Upon It's velvet swRrd, the ease
q seeking sheriff lulls to sleep his teve
= ed brain, while the fiery sun slOwl
creeps across the meridian of high
,e noon.
